BRACK: Transit approval could mean more buses, routes and frequency soon

By Elliott Brack | If more transit options are approved in Gwinnett on March 19, what you will see soon in Gwinnett will be more buses, more routes and more frequency of bus service. All will be a major improvement in public transit in the county.

We talked with Karen Winger, head of the Transit Division of the Gwinnett Department of Transportation, to understand these expanded local bus routes.

BRACK: Gwinnett Republican Party mighty silent on upcoming transit vote

By Elliott Brack |  Is the Gwinnett Republican Party vital in this county any more? Have they given up?

Since 1984, no matter where you stand, you have to give the Republican Party good grades for helping its candidates win office. In many instances, the Republicans recruited potential candidates and readied them for service. As a result, the party kept seeing their candidates win races. They were ready to serve. Many of those that the party brought along are still serving in political offices of the county today.

BRACK: Gwinnett, Metro Atlanta, finally moving toward key transit vote

APRIL 20, 2018  |  Finally, at long last, people throughout the area seem to be realizing that something must be done about the number one problem in Metro Atlanta: public transit.

We see this new concern in Gwinnett County, in Metro Atlanta, and most interestingly, at the Georgia General Assembly. Their action this year seems to open the possibility that significant transit action can start soon.
